In 2024, we have partnered with Christ’s College, Cambridge and Cathay to present an exciting opportunity - the prize for this year’s essay competition is a one-week all-expenses-paid trip to Cambridge and London in July. With essay questions as varied as the year before, we encourage eligible students to explore their topic of choice and showcase their argumentative skill.
In 2023, we partnered with Christ’s College, Cambridge to organise an English essay competition for Hong Kong senior secondary school students from non-fee-paying schools, with diverse writing prompts ranging across STEM and the humanities. We received 33 eligible entries in total, which were then shortlisted and marked. Winners received 1-on-1 supervisions with Cambridge University academics and respective cash prizes.
In collaboration with GIFTS Foundation, our 2023 Summer Boot Camp, which marked our first in-person event since COVID, gave insights on UCAS university applications, UK university life, and the Oxbridge academic experience to students from Secondary 3 to 5.
